On a team, 7 girls and 2 boys scored a total of 64 points. The difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 2 boys is 48. Each girl scored the same number of points and each boy scored the same number of points. Find the number of points scored by each girl and each boy.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of point scored by the 7 girls and 2 boys be x and y respectively.

Thus, since 7 girls and 2 boys scored a total of 64 points, then;

7x + 2y = 64 - - - (1)

Also, difference between the number of points scored by the 7 girls and the number of points scored by the 2 boys is 48. Thus;

7x - 2y = 48 - - - (2)

Add eq(1) to (eq 2) to get;

14x = 64 + 48

14x = 112

x = 112/14

x = 8

Put 8 for x in eq(1) to get;

7(8) + 2y = 64

56 + 2y = 64

2y = 64 - 56

2y = 8

y = 8/2

y = 4

Thus,each girl scores 8 points while each boy scores 4 points

the diagram shows an isosceles triangle. the area of the triangle is 12cm squared. workout of the perimeter of the triangle

Answers

Answer: X= 2.4cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Take half the triangles base which is 2.5 CM

draw a line up through the middle, and get half the area which would be 6cm^2

now divide 6cm by 2.5 and get 2.4 Cm

So x=2.4 CM

The Perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 15.8 cm

Let h represent the height of the triangle. Using Pythagoras theorem:

x² = h² + 2.5²

h² = x² - 6.25

h = √(x² - 6.25)

The area of the triangle is 12 cm², hence:

12 = (1/2) * 5 * √(x² - 6.25)

√(x² - 6.25) = 4.8

x = 5.41 cm

Perimeter of triangle = 5 cm + 5.41 cm + 5.41 cm = 15.8 cm

The Perimeter of the isosceles triangle is 15.8 cm

Rate= 5%

time = 6 years

The simple interest formula is

A=P(1+rt)

substitute

A=1100(1+0.05*6)

A=1100(1+0.3)

Your friend has $80 when he goes to the fair. He spends $4 to enter the fair and $12 on food. Rides at the fair cost $1 25 per ride. Which function can be used to determine how much money he has left over after x rides?​

Answers

Answer:

80m - (12+4) = x

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps! I mean its self explanatory

Answer:

$38.75

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add up the amount he spent before he started riding and we'll get $16. Subtract 16 from 80 which is 64. $64 dollars divided by $1.25 would be 51.2. We round down because he can't ride more then 50 rides. He would be able to ride 51 rides with the money he has. Let's say he rode 20 rides and then left the fair. We would subtract 20 from 51 and get 31. After that we would multiply 31 by 1.25 and get $38.75. So he would have $38.75 dollars after he left the fair.

1) Ben has 15 coins, all dimes and quarters, worth $2.55. How
many dimes and how many quarters does Ben have?

Answers

Answer:

Ben has 8 dimes and 7 quarters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of coins = 15

Worth of coins = $2.55 = 2.55 * 100 = 255 cents

Let,

x be the number of dimes

y be the number of quarters

According to given statement,

x+y=15     Eqn 1

10x+25y=255     Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

10(x+y=15)

10x+10y=150     Eqn 3

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

(10x+25y)-(10x+10y) = 255 - 150

10x+25y-10x-10y=105

15y=105

Dividing both sides by 15

[tex]\frac{15y}{15}=\frac{105}{15}\\y=7\\[/tex]

Putting y=7 in Eqn 1

x+7=15

x=8

Hence,

Ben has 8 dimes and 7 quarters.

Find the area of the figure. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]17.3\:\mathrm{m^2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution 1:

As the angles are marked, the figure forms a 30-60-90 right triangle with the height. Therefore the height will be  [tex]\frac{4}{2}\cdot\sqrt{3}=2\sqrt{3}[/tex]. The area of this figure can be given as [tex]b\cdot h[/tex], therefore our answer is [tex]5\cdot 2\sqrt{3}\approx \fbox{$17.3$}[/tex].

Solution 2:

The figure forms two triangles when cut by the shortest diagonal. The area of a triangle can be given by [tex]\frac{1}{2}ab\sin C[/tex]. Since there are 2 of these triangles, the area of the entire figure is [tex]2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\cdot4\cdot 5\cdot \sin 60^{\circ}\approx \fbox{$17.3$}[/tex].

how many feet tall is the building ​

Answers

Answer:

Height of the building = 77 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the building (AB) = h feet

It's given that height of a woman (ED) = 5 feet 3 inches

                                                              ≈ 5 feet + [tex]\frac{3}{12}[/tex] ft

                                                              ≈ 5.25 ft

Length of the shadow (BC) of the building = 55 ft

Length of the shadow (DC) of the woman = 45 in ≈ 3.75 ft

Since, both the triangles ABC and EDC are similar, their corresponding sides will be proportional.

By the property of similar triangles,

[tex]\frac{AB}{ED}= \frac{BC}{DC}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{h}{5.25}=\frac{55}{3.75}[/tex]

h = [tex]\frac{55\times 5.25}{3.75}[/tex]

h = 77 ft

Therefore, height of the building will be 77 ft.

D is the correct answer

Are these triangles similar?

Answers

Answer:

B. Yes, by the AA Similarity Postulate

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangles are both similar based on the AA Similarity Postulate. We know that all angles are equal because...

m∠ABE = m∠CBD = 42° (because they are veridical/opposite angels)

m∠AEB = 180° - m∠ABE - m∠EAB = 180° - 42° - 53° = 85°

Then from here we know that

m∠BDC = 180° - 85° - m∠CBD

m∠BDC = 95° - 42°

m∠BDC = 53°

From here we see that they are similar because of the AA Similarity Postulate, since

m∠ABE = m∠CBD = 42°

m∠BDC = m∠EAB = 53°

m∠AEB = m∠BCD = 85°

Your school is going to have a free dress day if 80% of students do their homework. There are 300 students at your school and 210 of them did their homework. What percent of students did their homework last week?

Answers

Answer: 70 % of students did their homework last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Total students = 300

Students who did their homework  = 210

Percentage of students who did their homework = [tex]\frac{\text {Students who did their homework}}{\text {Total students}}\times 100\%[/tex]

Putting the values we get:

Percentage of students who did their homework = [tex]\frac{210}{300}\times 100\%=70\%[/tex]
